It’s that time of the year again, when companies feel extra special for having made the list of Fortune magazine’s "100 Best Companies to Work For." And while it’s great to have lists like these because it fosters improvement, it’s also great to see what these companies are doing and how advisors, agents, brokers, business owners and the most important part that make up these corporations -- employees -- can emulate them and grow.

But, how do they do it? Fortune deploys its research teams and conducts extensive employee surveys in corporate America, according to their methodology. Two-thirds of a company’s rankings are based on the results of the Trust Index Employee Survey, sent to a random sample of employees of that company, Fortune says. The survey asks questions about management’s credibility, overall job satisfaction and camaraderie. The other third is based on responses on the Culture Audit, which is a more detailed survey about benefits, communication, hiring practices, pay and other categories. If you want to learn more about it or nominate a company, go here.
